Celica Forums General Discussion General got some sad news

go some sad news for you all, my dad as decided to sell my car, for what reason i dont know. , but i will try to stay here and give my input

throw a fit, see if that works!!!

it doesnt work with my dad

That sucks tell your mom to talk him out of it!

maybe hes getting you something better? you can always think on the bright side.

Tell him an Evo is slower

nope, that isnt true either because he told me that the celica cost to much for me to have as a first car, so no matter what i wont get a evo

that sucks man... im sorry to hear that

sorry to hear that!

whos paying for the car? if they are get a job and tell then you will help pay and if you are paying for it then i don't think they should take the car away if you making payments on time

well, im looking at a mid '90s jetta or like a mid '90s rx-7 right now.

RX-7!!!

mr2 Turbo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thats gay...


you musta done something to make him think that...

get the rx-7...i love those cars..should run about 10-14grand..or even cheaper sometimes...but your insurance will go up too...anyways, youre 16 and you should be grateful for such a generous father...ur blessed he's willin to give you a nice car and not a hand me down hooptie...good luck with everything

he also gave me a hand me down hooptie, he gave me my brothers 1990 beretta indy,i would drive it but it is currently not street legel due to exhaust and illegal tint

that sucks

rx-7... but yeah that sucks, good luck with whatever car you get

im not going to go anywhere, im going to try to stay here

That sucks...

so your dad is taking YOUR car and selling it for REASON not even you know? weird..

How old are you? Do you have a job?

You know what I did when my folks jacked MY fully PAID car? I got them to give me one of their car, going to sell that crap and then purchase a nicer Celica.

So if you have a job and since you are getting something else. Sell that hand me down car. Tell them to give you however much cash that they were going to give you on your RX7 and then purchase a used Celica and work off the remainings.

Good luck man!

turns out that worked, as long as i make the $325 payment everymonth he will pay the insurence and i can keep it

Damn,

I pay $130 a month for my celica.

I got it for $13,900...$15,000 basiclly after all the jazz.

And i put $7,500 down on it.

I'm only 17, but i put in a lot of hours at circuit city.

refinance the loan, get it stretched out for like 5 more years and your payments will drop...

and 320 a month isnt all that bad...

I figured there had to be something unsaid in the first post. Parents love to give stuff to their children, unfortunately finances get in the way, and something has to give. I am glad y'all manage to work things out. I don't know what your insurance is costing you. But its probably as much as the car note. Getting a job will make you a little more appreciative of your parents, too... Good luck, PS where do 16 yr olds get jobs anyway?

Well...atleast you get to keep the car now...as long as payments are being made.

yay happey ending!!!

i would say get the jetta. for the simple reason that rx7 especially the mid 90s i think 3rd gen are a bitch to maintain and insurance will eat you up. with the jetta youll fall under the "4door" catagory for insurance which will be cheap and those things are sleepers. modded right they will be able to take out the 7th gen celica

u want to part out? ill trade you my stock silver "kit" for your trd kit... the dealership or who ever buys it wont know the differnce... same with the wheels

see it all worked out at the end and you have it good too cus you only pay for the car i have to pay car and insurance but good luck with everything

see that worked out all good all you got to do is work weekends and ur good. to pay for those payments...


1:00pm - 10:00 pm Saturday
1:00pm - 10:00 pm Sunday


grand total 18 hours
I did that math with a salary of $6.00 a hour
a weekend you get $102.00
probley take home like 90.00$ because of taxes
$360.00 grand total.

360.00 - 325 = 35 on the side ... yay u

kick him in the balls untill he passes out then if that don't knock some sense into him do it repeat step one...j/k but damn that really sucks bud

Hey at least you got your sexy car back now huh? I would chop off my nuts to keep my celica. hahah j/k. but ya...congrats on keeping the car!

yes, rx-7s were notorious for maintenance problems and insurance hikes but the fact that i had a 91 gti 16 valve (with some suspension and minor engine tweaks) and my brother has a 98 gti vr6 (with fully adj race suspension, i/e/chip/ignition) gave me 1st hand knowledge about all the pros and cons of vdubs. a lot less reliability, v6 has mucho torque but hp is less than the celi. even with a lot of mods they aren't known for 1/4 mile. in a way, they have the handling area in common with the celi. when done right they take turns in auto-x like they're on rails. and, once again, torque helps them in the twisties. still, they ARE the original pocket rockets

btw, good deal showing the rents you are taking some responsibility and paying for your ride

Seattlecelica welcome im from seattle too!!

Also, if you end up sellen it ill take ur wing off ur hands..

idk about everyone else but in my city theres a place called the commons. It's like 200-300 oulet stores. They're cheaper than buying them in regular stores. If we didnt have them idk where kids would get jobs. Thats where all the college kids have jobs. Or else Ice cream shops. I work with my dad ($10 dollars an hour off the books. its plumbing so its BORING). n i work up at gymnastics. Its a gym i work with the pre-team boys. Gettingt hem ready to compete. $8 an hour. not too bad.

at 16, the insurance is probably more than the car.

um its YOUR car...why is he telling YOU what to do...when its YOUR car

that sucks man i hope you will get something better
